BERG Trampolines: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

As Ireland's leading BERG retailer, we accept that we are biased.

So, we asked our writer to scrape the internet to find out what people who buy BERG trampolines are saying about their trampolines, the good, the bad, the ugly - no bias.

Here are the results.

What Are BERG Customers Saying About BERG Trampolines?

The good (recurring praise)

  • Build & longevity. Owners frequently report multi-year durability (frames + pads), with parts still available years later. “We have had our trampoline for 9 years… replaced the padding and netting.” (Trustpilot)

  • Bounce quality & performance. Consistent shout-outs for TwinSpring + AirFlow/Pro mats (higher, softer, more controlled bounce), and strong feedback on Pro Bouncer for tricking/freestyle. 

  • Safety net (Deluxe/Deluxe XL). Buyers like the tall, taut nets with curved posts; fewer complaints about sag vs cheaper sets. “Safety net is still great 3 years on.” 

  • Overall quality vs budget brands. Multiple threads say BERG lasts/feels sturdier than supermarket/entry trampolines. “Berg… very solid material.” (boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin')

  • Customer service & spare parts availability. Trustpilot shows strong scores and prompt replies; buyers mention quick delivery of springs/pads. (Trustpilot)

The bad (common niggles)

  • Price premium. Irish forum posts consistently flag BERG as “expensive” compared to €150–€250 options, even as they concede quality. (boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin')

  • Assembly can be fiddly/time-consuming. Quite a few “take your time” notes (spring order, alignment), and retailer guides exist just to troubleshoot common snags. 

  • Tracking/delivery communications. A minority of Trustpilot reviews mention vague tracking or third-party hand-offs (esp. UK deliveries). 

The ugly (less frequent, but worth knowing)

  • Net wear or sag over time. Not rampant, but it happens (as with most brands). Fixes involve re-tensioning/replacing ties; some dealers advise dropping nets in storms. 

  • Squeaks. Usually generic trampoline physics (spring/frame friction) rather than BERG-specific—lubrication or spring repositioning solves most cases. 

  • FlatGround pitfalls. If you go in-ground/flat, drainage and pit prep matter; poor prep can lead to water issues or settling that affects bounce/net tension. 

  • Performance split opinion (older vs Pro line). In tricking communities, some say earlier consumer BERGs weren’t “pro” enough—but call the Pro Bouncer “legit really good.” (Reddit)

Quick sentiment snapshots (with representative quotes)

Theme What buyers say Representative quote
Durability Frames/pads hold up for years; parts available “9 years… replaced the padding and netting.” 
Net quality Deluxe/XL nets stay neat & safe “Safety net is still great 3 years on.” 
Value vs cheap Costs more, feels much sturdier “Very solid material.” 
Pro performance Pro Bouncer praised by trickers “New pro bouncer… really good.” 
Setup friction Alignment/spring order trips people up Troubleshooting guides exist for BERG setup. 
Delivery comms Occasional tracking/3rd-party confusion “Order not fulfilled by Berg in the UK” hand-off context. 

Practical buyer takeaways (actionable)

  • If you want family durability + bounce, Champion and Elite earn the most consistent praise for comfort/safety (AirFlow Pro + TwinSpring). 

  • If you need height/time in the air for tricks, shortlist Pro Bouncer (longer springs, AirFlow Pro, heavier frame). 

  • Budget for time to assemble (cross-pattern springing; frame alignment). It’s not hard, just meticulous.

  • In windy/rainy sites (Ireland!), drop the net in storms and anchor; plan drainage for in-/flat-ground installs.
